Hi -- I created a farm-service.xml and copied in the following from the JBOSS 4.0 docs:
However, the service will not start because I keep getting an error about "FlterInstance" attribute not configured.

any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same problem, and I figured it out: there are some attributes missing in the documentation, also the farming service depends on the cluster service. not that any log tells you about that, it's just a nullpointer exception ;)

anyway, i figured it out. a minimal farm-service.xml would look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
 <mbean code="org.jboss.ha.framework.server.FarmMemberService"
 name="jboss:service=FarmMember,PartitionName=DefaultPartition">
 <depends>jboss:service=${jboss.partition.name:DefaultPartition}</depends>
 <attribute name="PartitionName">DefaultPartition</attribute>
 <attribute name="ScanPeriod">5000</attribute>
 <attribute name="URLs">farm/</attribute>
 <attribute name="FilterInstance"
 attributeClass="org.jboss.deployment.scanner.DeploymentFilter"
 serialDataType="javaBean">
 <property name="prefixes">#,%,\,,.,_$</property>
 <property name="suffixes">#,$,%,.BAK,.old,.orig,.rej,.bak,.sh,\,v,~</property>
 <property name="matches">.make.state,.nse_depinfo,CVS,CVS.admin,RCS,RCSLOG,SCCS,TAGS,core,tags</property>
 </attribute>
 <attribute name="URLComparator">org.jboss.deployment.scanner.PrefixDeploymentSorter</attribute>
 <attribute name="Deployer">jboss.system:service=MainDeployer</attribute>
 </mbean>
</server>

hope that helps.
